How to Make Better Choices (with Barry Schwartz)

Every choice you make shapes your wellbeing - and the bigger the
decision, the greater the impact. So when it comes to
life-changing questions like where to live, who to marry, or
which career to pursue, how can you tell if you’re making the
best decision for your long-term happiness?


Economists might argue that you should weigh up every single
option carefully - like a gambler in a casino figuring out the
odds of winning. But psychologist Barry Schwartz says you can't
apply a formula to happiness. In this episode, he shares insights
from his new book, Choose Wisely: Rationality, Ethics, and the
Art of Decision-Making (co-authored with philosopher Richard
Schuldenfrei), offering a more thoughtful and human approach to
making life’s hardest choices.
